The banner above the should read “Typical Politician”, but U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) finally admitted that he has been lying all week long. The lewd photograph that showed up on his official Twitter account last week was indeed his.

Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., admitted Monday in a stunning press conference that he sent a lewd photo to a woman over Twitter, after claiming for days that he was hacked. Saying he is “deeply ashamed,” he also said he’s had explicit exchanges with six women over the last three years, some of which occurred after he got married in 2010.

But the seven-term congressman said he would not resign, expressing hope that he could win back the trust of his constituents.

“This is probably not a death blow to Weiner’s chances of holding on to his House seat or even his shot at being mayor: New Yorkers are pretty forgiving about these kinds of things,” NYU political science professor Patrick Egan told The Daily Caller. “But in the short term it probably hurts his fundraising.”

Others say he’s done.

“Congressman Weiner’s political career may well be over,” said Republican Ron Christie. “First the lewd image, then his anger-fueled media encounters have not made him an endearing nor sympathetic figure. Toss in more tweets to a porn star and his lack of certitude about the picture’s authenticity may well have many in New York City questioning his.”

Whether he recovers or not, full-rehabilitation in the public sphere may take some time.

Even though I am a staunch Republican, I truly believe that Rep. Weiner should resign immediately. He lied to every camera placed in front of him last week and only called for a press conference today, because he was backed into a corner that he could not escape.

Quit Question: Do you really want a 46 year-old congressman, who sends lewd photos of himself to 20+ year-old females, in charge of legislation that effects the lives of every American?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the brand new Facebook Profile layout?

Answer: You can do some creative grassroots advertising with it!

Last month, Facebook unveiled its new profile page layout to the world. As usual, it took me some time to get used to it, but I eventually made the switch to the new layout when I realized I could be more creative with it.

Before the new look, I would always customize my profile pictures to include miniature campaign signs for the political candidates I supported during the 2010 midterm elections. For me, it was similar to putting a bumper sticker on my car.

After looking at a few creative ideas from other individuals, I decided that this new Facebook profile layout could allow people to express their political views more loudly and I am definitely taking advantage of that. As you can see from above, I am staunchly against President Obama’s health care overhaul and want it repealed immediately.

In the future, I plan on using the five photo spaces to advertise my choices for the presidency and candidates for the U.S. Senate.
